"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.

Sometimes its difficult being an artist online who works primarily with original characters. FanArt carries with it the followings of large franchises, often leaving original work unnoticed. I struggle to get even 3 favorites on original character pieces, while fan art I've done in less than a third of the time has received hundreds of favorites and dozens of comments. I know, DeviantArt isn't exactly the best place for my kind of work. A vast majority of the sites attention is paid to 'My Little Pony' artwork and pornagraphic material.

Now, I've been no exception to the trend of preferring well known franchises to original work, as most of what I favorite is fanart. So I thought I'd take a positive step myself to alleviate some of this hypocrisy, by making a list of my top 5 favorite original characters on DeviantArt.

It was a bit tricky to pick my top five (these are in no particular order, btw), as some characters both on the list and those that didn't make it rode a fine line for what I might consider professional, and therefore desire to exclude.

Hi,My name is Amie and I recently stumbled upon your gallery and noticed the variety of designs you have done and was wondering if it'd be possible for you to help my create a front shirt design for our school's "Battle of the Classes" upcoming rally.
